Michigan finished up hiring the coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball yesterday with the hiring of defensive line coach Shaun Nua. As with all of Michigan’s coaching changes this offseason, I’m here to break down the move from a recruiting perspective.
Like Josh Gattis and Anthony Campanile, Nua checks off a lot of boxes on what I’d look for in a good recruiting hire. Nua is the oldest of the three new hires, but he’s only 37 years old. He’s steadily moved up the ladder, going from a great stretch at Navy to a lower Power 5 job at Arizona State.
